Brooke: Letting go, letting God
At 20, Brooke Smith had the life she wanted: beauty, boyfriends, a blossoming career styling hair and a bruising hobby as a star on her women's roller derby team. By 21, she'd been diagnosed with a rare, incurable form of cancer: alveolar soft part sarcoma. Her doctors told her it may not take its final toll for 10 to 15 years. Share your thoughts on this story here.

Ukrop's for sale
The grocer's president said its Roanoke store can't stay open if sales do not improve. Now Ukrop’s Super Market is seeking a buyer for its 28-store chain, though it’s unclear how this kind of transaction would impact the grocer’s Roanoke store. Have you been shopping at the store? Why or why not? What do you think about this latest news that it might not remain open?

A hearing is scheduled for Wednesday in Richmond over a complaint arguing that the project will have a negative impact on a historic Civil War battlefield.
